KeyKobo - Sacred Timeline

(https://i.imgur.com/44TV1HA.png) (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=124100.0)

IC FORM: https://forms.gle/ZhQ4UgNQzqBdTELy6



(https://i.imgur.com/hSSRkZk.jpeg)
Inspired by the TVA organization from the Loki TV series.
The background of the story is the trend and design style that became popular in the 1970s.
The color of alpha is the T-shirt by the variant, and the mod is the color of the jacket, to express the change of identity.
The novelty keys are decorated with the "retro is the future" idea in the series and cassette futurism elements.
And used space cadet, which is more in line with people's longing for space in the 1970s.



Info

Manufacturer: Key Kobo
Material: ABS material
Production Method: Triple-shot sublegends
Double-shot + Pad print novelties + Sticker
Profile: Cherry profile

Well, this set is a way to follow the style of both the show and the set they "borrowed" while both being unique and referencing the show. Pretty nice.

By the way, are the sub legends going to be triple shot or is KKB still holding off on that?

The info section mentions pad printed sublegends.

EDIT: Well, happily it doesn’t any more!

Of course we will include stickers for the transparent cap to achieve more possibilities :thumb:

I'm so happy to see them move on to triple shot. That just gives them yet another edge on the competition. KKB has been really stepping it up

1. add accented (orange) iso enter in base. every basekit offering terminal ISO also provides accents in base without locking it to a very specific regional layout.
2. fullsize/1800 are recently getting more popular in the hobby, might consider adding numpad in base (like every base kit should, I might add).

there's a lot of keys you can remove or group into existing child kits:
- relegendables can go in the novelty or mix alpha kits
- 40s support can be made into a separate kit with proper accents and expanded support
- R3 pgup + R4 pgdn can be safely removed

I always use R3/4 Up and Down if the board has a blocker/badge tho lol. Boards I use it on currently are my Corsa, Forever65, Loki65. Boards that I have coming that will be using it include the Time65 so far (Unless something else with a right blocker/Badge comes out that is cool)

- 40s support can be made into a separate kit with proper accents and expanded support

Per messages in KeyKobo discord, they have apparently raised MOQ for 40s kits to 250 which will be challenging to meet for any future KKB set. As such it's 3 or 4 key 40s support in the base or nothing. This is not a happy development.

Wait, so you think a separate 40s kit will reach its 250 MOQ?

The suggestion is to add 3 or 4 key 40s support to the base.  Sorry for my misunderstanding.

So we should add 40s key to the base, right?

After some discord discussion it appears KKB is now willing to add 6 key 40s support to base sets going forward, designers willing. There are already a couple sets coming up that will incorporate them. Hopefully Sacred Timeline can accommodate that as well.

I second the request to support R1 accent row for full-size and ISO users. Please add four R1 translucent orange keycaps to the Numpad kit, and three to the UK ISO kit.

The focus of this novel key is placed inside the sticker of the cap, because this can increase the freedom of the pattern without being restricted by the mold, so stay tuned. :thumb:

FYI, your set currently doesn't provide fully correct support for 1800/CP/96-key layouts because it's missing the requisite R1 End, PgDn keys in the numpad kit. This seems to be an issue with most KeyKobo sets, and I assume it came to be that way because whoever designed the original kitting template for KKB forgot to include these two keys when they were splitting off the numpad kit — and no one's bothered to fix it since (possibly due to the specifics of KKB's kit tooling and manufacturing process). But since I see you've added some extra keys that we don't usually see in KKB sets, you could be that hero ;)

Here's why you need those keys:
